After 3 tries, he couldn't pronounce Brobdinagian, but he was quite articulate when he said on TV, not once, but twice, that he knew some "white niggers".
That was a double slur to albinos, unless of course he was speaking of himself as wh--- Ni----.
Did I miss the good stuff? Just flipped in to a C-span2 debate on Senate rules and debate on Judicial nominees.
Michael Gerhardt College of William and Mary Law professor,
is up, saying there has never been a time when senate rules were broken until now. In 200 years, there has NOT been a tradition of an up or down vote. Every president has had nominees who did not receive up or down votes. Abe Fortes' nomination was a filibuster. The nuclear option IS unprecedented. (He's saying a lot more, giving examples of nominations that were filibustered, but who gives a rip?) That's part of our history, he says. Offers a reminder of the importance of the Senate following its rules without amending it's rules: There are suggestions made for breaking the rules, for some kind of reason, like "because of abuse on the other side, it's ok to break the rules". I'm saying, "two wrongs don't make a right", as I would tell my children. (Condescending to the max!)
